Led by the Cook County Department of Public Health, Healthy HotSpot aims to build healthy places in suburban Cook County through community partnerships. This includes efforts to increase access to places like the Forest Preserves of Cook County and opportunities for physical activity where we live, learn, work and play that support us in making it part of our daily lives. This project was made possible in part with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
